It wasn’t my favorite store; it wrapped its magazines so you couldn’t open them. However, they didn’t care that I was still not twenty-one. After all, I didn’t buy the porn, just the fetish books like Nutrix or Exotique
This particular day I found something different. It was on a lower shelf all by itself and there was only one copy. Wrapped in its clear plastic I could only see the first page. ‘Panty Raiders’ it said. It was $15, quite a high price for the time. The art was attractive, however, and I took a chance.

At home I opened the plastic and scanned through the story. It was on single sheets of 8x10-photo quality paper. All 48 pages were half text and half simply wonderful ‘Gilbert’ art (it wasn’t until years later that I put together the evidence and found that Bilbrew was the real artist). Only then did I read the story. It was unremitting Petticoat Punishment from beginning to end. No sudden conversion to liking it, only escalating humiliation.
I have bought thousands of books wrapped in plastic or through the mail sight unseen. Most of them have nothing I want. ‘Panty Raiders’ was the buy of a lifetime. I have read it or looked at the drawings thousands of times. It was what inspired me to seek out an artist and do my own stories.
Over the next several years, I sought out and purchased everything I could find with the Gilbert name on it. For those interested, I have attached a checklist with my ratings of the stories. If you have any corrections or additions, please let me know.
I am expanding my normal review of the art of Petticoat Punishment to include summaries of the stories that Gilbert and Bilbrew collaborated on. The text and art are so interconnected that to do one without the other seems wrong. Besides, this is my damn article and I can write whatever I like (right?).
‘Panty Raiders’ begins with three college boys conducting a raid on the ‘Alpha Beta Gamma’ sorority house while the girls are at a game. The girls return and discover the boys. The sorority girls and their slightly sadistic housemother, Mrs. Jones, decide to handle the matter themselves. The boys agree to submit rather than be reported to the Dean and face dismissal from school. They must report to the sorority every afternoon after their classes and act as ‘maids’ until eight at night.
"Furthermore," Mrs. Jones told them, "you will be severely spanked for any impertinence, and since you seem to find panties rather thrilling, you will wear them at all times. In addition, you will be referred to as Robette, Marie and Gisele, and always address the girls as ‘Miss’."
When the boys return the next afternoon, they are told that their ‘uniforms’ are ready for them.
"You will find your uniforms laid out for you ’girls.’ The boys stood staring at the garments.
"You . . . you . . . mean, you expect us to wear those things!"
"Of course, Gisele. You would hardly expect to see a smart maid mincing about in trousers, would you?"
The girls shrieked with laughter, as Jim stood there, crestfallen and crushed, his head bowed.
Note that Bilbrew still is true to his fetish roots. The boys wear exotic clothing including corsets, high heels, garter belts and tight panty girdles under their panties to ‘keep them modest’. The sorority girls in contrast look rather normal, almost plain compared to the cross-dressed boys.
Each boy is assigned to a girl who laces him into his corset, dresses him and makes him up as a maid. They are then shown off to the entire sorority:

I heard the sibilant rustle of silk behind me, and glanced over my shoulder to glimpse Pete and Jim mincing into the room on the arms of their Mistresses. We three did look like French Maids except perhaps for bulges missing in the proper places.
Over the next few weeks, the boys are introduced to wearing wigs and are spanked by the girls for any minor misbehavior.
The Sorority plans a party for the ‘Delta Delta’ girls, and the boys are mortified to find that they must serve. For the occasion, a new item is added, a pair of sponge rubber falsies to give them ‘a proper feminine figure’. The boys were quite concerned.
"But won’t the Delta Delta girls spread the word around the campus about our being your . . . your maids?"
The Delta Delta girls do discover the boys’ secret and they tear off the panty raiders panties. Their mistresses hurry them out to the kitchen, leaving the screaming girls behind. Their uniforms are ripped, wigs askew and stockings full of runs.
Come back next month for the conclusion of the Panty Raiders and my coverage of ‘Tales from a Pink Mirror’.
